Some of Raiders' moves don't seem to make sense

Yeah. Otherwise why would we have picked Jamarcus and not Quinn?

I can't help but see another year of mediocrity. A LOSING SEASON. And I'm dead sick of it.
How long have all you been fans? This team did used to be a winner. It was expected. And it seems not enough's done these day's to break that cycle. Gruden was. And proved it. And what was his reward? He wanted more control. He deserved it. He got the A.D. boot. When people start understanding this and not accepting the failures and head scratching decisions that have become the laughing stock of the league, only then will culpibility for these moves be demanded. IT'S THE FANS THAT PAY, IN MORE THEN ONE WAY.

Well if nobody has the sense to give props to this post, let me step out from the shadows. It does seem like for every step we take forward there is sure to be 3 back.
And I will say, some of what the idiot said was quite lucid.

I received a warning after posting my first post upon joining here. Are you to tell me your little feelings are that fragile that I've offended, wondering why nobody responded to a post? It would seem there are sensitive whiner fans or what not running the show here? That is pretty damn pathetic. I only wish the Tooz or alzado, maybe howie or Ted Hendricks could read some of these tear jerker all is well stuff. Would you warn them? I think a tall cold glass of reality is in order.

YES both were heart-breakers but the more i think about it, its Missed opportunities. YES we got screwed last game, however had the defence held denver before they could go down the field and tie it up, we would have a win, had the offence drove down the field better after the big run by jordan in OT, we could have a win. Had our defence held in the detriot game at the end we would have won. The team has ALOT of potential, we COULD have been 2-0. But i think we are killing ourselves.

Good points - we were ahead in both games and its not just the poor play of the QB that cosy us the wins.

The Raiders will soon have 2 black QBs on the roster (once Russell has to be moved onto it).

No note about that though!

We don't see black and white, we just see Silver and Black.

I still wonder about that last toss in regulation.
After the previous bomb to Porter had gone astray, to throw the same play was dumb, dumb, dumb.

Supposedly, Jano was kicking FGs from 60 yards in pre-game. Look at how the 52 yard effort hit the top of the upright. Why did we not just run the ball, get inside the halfway line, stop the clock with a couple of seconds remaining and try the damn long shot.

Throwing the damn bomb was paramount to punting the ball. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Guys, it is easy from the fans point of view to have an opinion on things. However, we are not at practice during the week. We ar not in the meeting rooms each week , so we do not know what is being taken into consideration as to who plays and who does not. OK McCown had thee interceptions this last week. I did not see the first one to Bailey, but the second one was on a deflected pass and the thrid was on a long throw that Porter could have and should have broken up. The two in the Detroit game where on a timing route read by the defender and another defrected pass. It is not like McCown threw the ball right at the prople. Also, many of the lack of yards last week against Denver I attribute to receivers nto getting open which is a result of two things, poor game planning or lacak of talent at WR. Denver DB's where lining up ten yards off the ball, where was the WR screen, where was the motion patterns, quick slants etc. I say it was game planning. Give McCown credit though. He is leading the team, the team is not giving up on him and he is not making the bone head plays. Also, Culpepper could still be hurt and not mobile enough to play.

Just 3 weeks ago all of us were excited and confident in our boys. The season is young and it is far from over. Yes, we are scratching our heads on why CPep is not playing but as "mediocre" as Josh has looked he is not to blame for being 0-2, they were team losses.

Lets get back to seeing the hour glass as half full not empty. Our "O" line is played so much better than last year, Lamont is running like he knows how, Rhodes comes back in 2 weeks, JR is finally in uniform, our defense will only play better hopefully starting today and our passing game will get better too. KC is the worst team in our division not us which we have not been able to say for a few years now, Denver is very much beatable as we know now and San Dogg does not look very good. I would like to think we should still be very optimistic about our future!

Stay together Raider Fans!

I agree with you 100%, you cant blame the QB only. It is a team sport! However, I do think Daunte has more "Playmaking" ability than Josh but the bottom line is he has played well enough to win both games. Coaches need to keep tweaking and players need to keep playing hard and get better every week and we will be fine!
